how much you pay for it? i paid 2k for my pulsar and its mint with only 150k's on it.

if we talking a $100 rolla seems a bit silly your gonna spend $1000 on replacing every fluid in it. i know ppl that havnt done 1 oil change in pretty much new cars and driven for like 100k and it still seems to go. just do the basics keep it simple and replace the mofo in the unlikely event it breaks.

even if you do all that replacing it can still f up on you, old cars are old cars. last owner was prob doing key bangers in it.

i paid 900 for her, and the interior is mint as, needs a good clean, but overall its been looked after. and i got a mate who is a mechanic that has said he will help me do the fluid changes and timing belt etc for me for free

daily battles to begin next week

best paint award coming my way gota love old people leaving cars in the garage for 20years to sell them for an extra $500 bucks 1 day.

i dont think ive ever changed the oil in the magna. just topped it up every now and then. only engine failure its experienced was due to the fact that it had more mileage than most dailys on this site combined. current engine is reasonably new (only 200,000k), and itll be getting the same treatment, check dipstick every 6 months, top up as required.

[Damo_R34]

you could just use the old oil from the 14 dave.

[MissR34]

lol

[scandyflick]

you could just use the old oil from the 14 dave.

hahah, i would, but i think itd be too light for the old magna.

still be better than the slop i top it up with though. and probably good for another 15,000k...

... but it just doesnt seem right, putting motul 300v in a magna, even if it is old oil.

u do realize alot of people do that cara prob still better than most cheap dailys get treated.

naturally it being car ppl on here they would treat cars a bit better than most and do the full treatment on the pride n joy. but the average daily you buy from some stranger prob hasnt had an oil change since it rolled off the production line. although im sure the owner told you it did every 10,000

[MissR34]

havent been told a thing dan, and thats the prob, i got nfi what the service history has been like. got her from a car yard and i doubt they would know anyway

[Inline 6]

yeah they would tell you whatever you want to hear anyway i have little trust in people.

deff do an oil change, and the rest just look at how much its going to cost and dont go overboard like you do with the 34

o and im not sure when uni n stuff is ending so ill come down to kadina if im not doing much but wont enter

[scandyflick]

probably doesnt have a service history. but 4ac's are worth about a 6 pack of beer, if you get it from somewhere expensive. really not worth spending mass dollars on (ie, more than a 6 pack of beer for every service).

fill it with cheap castrol oil, replace the trans fluid if you really think you have to. the only fluid id worry about is brake fluid.

yeah, 6 packs are the new yard sticks.

how many cartons for an RB26? We are talking TED's too.

[Inline 6]

if the engine blows you could always sr20 it

[scandyflick]

be about 60 cartons if you can find a cheapie. install will be about the same. hope youve got a van.

youre crazy dan. takes a special kind of driver to be able to properly utilise the awesomeness that is an sr20det.

[MissR34]

Dan, leave the 34 out of this will ya

i just like to know wtf is going on with the car, and know what is in it. she runs well, no issues with that, brakes alright too, but would rather spend a few dollars making sure i know whats in it and basicalyl having to create my owns ervice history for her

[scandyflick]

seriously, its a daily. 2 6 packs for fresh oil, air filter, and oil filter. add another 6 pack if you wanna do plugs. if you spend more than that, well...

... it is a daily you know.

i heard it was short for sr20detonate

just saying if a car is worth something and will be in the future you look after it, if you buy a disposable car. you run it till it dies and dispose of it

car park here is full of disposables hence why they dont understand when i talk about the gtr

yeah, nissan really missed the mark with their engine coding.

ca18detonate

sr20detonate

rb20detonate

rb25detonate

and rb26dettonate, which is kinda the same, but costs 3x more to fix.

[MissR34]

lol

spark plugs are like $5 each

win.

compared to skyline plugs $25 each

fail.

[scandyflick]

i use 5 buck plugs in the s14. dont see the point in using exotic plugs.
